The wedding was beautifully captured by Dee, of DRene Plunkett Photography.

 

“We were really pleased we chose Dee as our photographer. Dee is an exceptional photographer. We loved having her with us on our wedding day, her enthusiastic and relaxed  personality  helped us so much. Dee even helped with making some tough decisions on the day, helping the bride pick her earrings last-minute and the length of her hairstyle. We are delighted we found Dee to photograph our wedding.”
